Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

With flu season upon us and students getting sick, it’s important to keep our classroom clean and germ-free. Let’s work together to create a safe and supportive learning environment for our students.

We are in need of essential supplies to help maintain a healthy classroom.

Donations of cleaning supplies and band-aids would be greatly appreciated to ensure students stay safe and cared for, whether it’s preventing the spread of germs or tending to small scrapes that happen throughout the day.

Your support helps keep our students healthy and engaged in learning. Thank you for your generosity!
